I feel like crap from my head to my shoes

To move to a more affordable city, one needs to be able to sell their house in this market.

DR FJL, I like having some sort of space for the dogs to go out when they have to, and walking is only for pleasure.

And that is the current conundrum. Not only the ability to sell but to find someone who can afford to buy...especially with mortgage companies dropping like so many flies that have been feasting upon poisoned fish.

I love living in the Bay Area. I don't know that it's exactly "right" for me any more. I've embraced (some of) its many offerings, but my thoughts tend toward living where I can breathe without someone hearing me through the walls.

That's something I aspire to as well. I want some open space where a dog (or dogs) can jump and play. A space where a cat (or cats) can tease the dog (or dogs) and then get away. A space where I can lay out a nice croquet course. A space that is not, in any way, crowded on all sides by fences or shrubs belonging to other folks who also want some space to themselves.

Would a bitch-slap help?

I guess if I could walk out of the apartment and be out on the street it would be better, although I love apartment living otherwise. But there is the trade-off of the hassle of the elevator ride when other people are on it, and I'm with one of the dogs.

Except for during blackouts, I do love being on the 16th floor, though.

Sounds like I'm getting that new attitude. Maybe it was the threat of a bitch-slap.

Re housing: We bought our house as newlyweds, and we intend to die in it. We are doing the fixups one per year (except we did TWO this year). It is a very modest house, which fits us perfectly.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #103 on:** September 18, 2008, 10:47:35 AM »

FJL, from the 16th floor you must have quite a view. Can you take a photo and post it?

Back from a meeting that took way longer than it should have. Now, I'm having lunch - leftover carry-out fried chicken from last night, goldfish crackers, and an apple.

I hate being so predictable. I like to be full of surprises.

Back from the long jog which seemed longer than usual today. I must now shower and get to my noon lunch at Stanley's, after which I shall return to package up some stuff and get it shipped out.

And it's being predictable only sometimes that keeps someone unpredictable

You never know when someone is going to be predictable.

Laura - I'm not good with a camera or photo-loading, but I hope next time the DR's are over, maybe we'll get a nighttime photo or two - that's when the view is really good.

FJL · « **Reply #115 on:** September 18, 2008, 11:35:54 AM »

If the windows are clean, of course.

Question: When we don't like something that's reliable, we call it predictable. When we do like something that's predictable, we call it reliable. Have they come to mean the same thing, only expressing a quality judgment?

DR Laura - I have 2 photos taken from DR FJL's 16th floor window back in 2005. They are trapped inside my home computer, so if when our power comes back on, I'll post them.

Solve that and then we can deal with:

predictably unreliable.

der Brucer

It does seem that we often use "predictability" to reference events and reliability to reference on-going behavior.
